Just a little Cognitive Dissonance for ya on this Christmas Morning…

This is us.

Every year since we got together, the Wifely Unit does KFC for Christmas Eve dinner, I just put in my order.

Yeah, I got lucky and married up.

I have always been White Trash and proud of it.

My thanks to Mr. Paul S. for sending this my way, it’s perfect.

So whatever your tastes in Christmas dinner are, like us, just be grateful we have anything at all and say a prayer for those less fortunate.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year from my clan to yours and a special thanks to CederQ for taking this meager little Blog in a dirty little corner of the internet to a new level.

Very, very sincerely from yours truly,

Phil

Wow.

I had to run down to BiMart yesterday to get some stuff and just for shits and grins I stopped by the Sporting Goods desk to see if they had any .22 LR shells.

I was very pleasantly amazed to see that not only did they have some CCI in stock, they had 500 round boxes of Stingers on hand!

So I snagged two 50 round plastic boxes of regular .22LR and one of the 500 round boxes of Stingers.

Since I had to wrap a couple gifts for the Wifely Unit anyway, I wrapped up the Stingers, slapped a tag on it with my name on it from Santa and sneaked it in under the tree when she wasn’t looking.

She’s gonna pitch a fit because she asked me several times if I wanted some ammo for Christmas and I kept saying yes but she was talking 9mm and .556.

I haven’t seen Stingers in BiMart for years so I kinda cheated but in my defense, she never asked me if I wanted any .22 shells.

LOL!

Merry Christmas to me!

I ain’t got too many years left and I’m thinking I should be grateful for that at this point.

Audi comes out with an Electric SUV that transforms into a pickup.

So this thing is jam packed with gimmicky gizmo’s that are all “Creative Innovations”.

And I do mean jam packed.

From top to bottom and end to end.

All the cool rich kids are going to want this, right?

The problem with “Creative Innovations” is, when they stop working.

I wouldn’t even want to take a guess at what it would cost to fix that sliding rear glass mechanism or that fancy flip out steering wheel if it suddenly crapped out.

Pretty likely more that what I have been paying for entire vehicles for the last twenty years.

Nope, nope and nope.

You can have all of that crap.

Call me Old Fashioned all you want but I am going to keep my REAL TRUCK

as long as I possibly can.

You can have your D Cell Special on steroids.

Looks permanent to me too.

I’m telling ya, people are done playing with these assholes.
